The true and false lady's heart is waiting for the lady

After a meal.

They saw the whole country starting to set off fireworks. They walked out of the palace and admired the beauty of the fireworks, although it was only beautiful for a moment. But it is like keeping it in my heart forever, and cannot forget it for a long time.

Henry Zhang looked at the fireworks and lowered his eyes at the beauty beside him. He took the initiative to hold Chi Man's hand with affection.

Cheng Chiman looked up at Henry Zhang, who was a head taller than her, and she also smiled sweetly.

I have never felt such happiness in my life.

Become a couple with your beloved, and join hands with him to advance and retreat together.

Under the New Year's Eve, the bustling beauty of Lan Amber and the people outside the palace are everywhere! Walking on the street, looking at the beauty of the fireworks, at this moment, I raised a beautiful smile.

New year, new start.

Within one year, Lan Bo experienced an assassination, two wars, and also ushered in a new life.

Xichu, which is also a country, faces the same situation as Beiyong on New Year's Eve.

On the day of Chu Fan's coronation ceremony, many medicine men and assassins appeared in the city, obviously targeting him.

Chu Fan, who was injured, had no one he could trust except Savannah.

After Weiyang learned that Nangong Moxu had been assassinated, she rushed back to Beiyong the day before New Year's Eve.

At this time, Chu Fan was facing many difficulties.

He sat on the dragon chair, and for the first time he felt that the dragon chair was not that easy to sit on.

As the prime minister, Lin Qianbai stood in the main hall, together with several powerful generals and veterans.

Chu Fan lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Qianbai looked at him. There was an oppressive atmosphere in this hall.

Qi Lian standing next to him was sent here by Wei Shengci this time.

He is also a dead soldier trained in Wei Shengci's ten years.

She had a cold expression on her face, sharp eyes, and a sword on her hand. She was beautiful but kept away from strangers.

Seeing that no one stood up to speak, Lin Qianbai said: "Your Majesty, most of the ministers in Xichu today are still standing beside the former crown prince. Now the former crown prince is Concubine Jinda, who has infinite scenery and appears in many cities in our country. The murder of a medicine man happened. We need to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise there will be heavy casualties."

Chu Fan heard Lin Qianbai's voice and slowly opened his eyes.

"All the grassland ministries have united and plan to invade Beiyong and Xichu. Several small countries in the surrounding areas have been captured, and we are afraid that they will soon reach our border with Xichu. Now our troops are weak, and those people are unwilling to send troops. They feel that Your Majesty is unworthy of your responsibilities."

One of the bearded generals spoke up.

He is Huoda, the most powerful general in Western Chu. He is a member of a poor family supported by the late emperor and comes from a minority tribe.

Chu Fan looked at him and saw disdain in his eyes.

Chu Fan slowly took a deep breath.

The wound still hurt, but he was facing such an oppressive situation among these people.

Maybe except Lin Qianbai, no one would help him at all. Perhaps he was forced to abdicate and wanted to bring back Concubine Jinda.

After Huoda finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Fan.

I want to see what his expression looks like.

"General Huoda thinks it's time for me to abdicate?"

Chu Fan's voice was hoarse and he looked at Huoda questioningly.

Huoda was not afraid at all. He looked at Chu Fan and said, "This is not just the general's opinion."

As soon as these words came out, several generals around him stood up.

Except for the only young general among them, Lu Xingzhi, he had sharp eyes and an air of unruliness.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the only thing we can do is to ask the Crown Prince to come back and preside over the situation. She is Jinda's concubine. Her authority is higher than ours. As long as we obey the Crown Prince's words, we will avoid war."

"The general also agrees."

"The general also agrees."

Several highly respected generals looked at Chu Fan with genuine disdain.

They were promoted by Crown Prince Chu Xiangyu, how could they betray their master like this.

In addition to Lin Qianbai, the civil servants also had several pavilion elders.

In the face of war, in front of the absolute strength of the generals, they had no way to speak.

"Your Majesty, please abdicate as soon as possible. I will take the order and go to Jinda to invite the prince to return."

Chu Fan's face remained calm.

He looked at the faces of these people and felt a chill in his heart.

He had previously felt that even if he did not obey himself, he should at least unite the front for the sake of his country.

"The prince concealed his identity and used his identity as a man to serve as an official in the court for many years. He used the state's financial resources to secretly kill innocent lives and train them into puppets. Everything in the country was done by Chu Xiangyu. How many people did she kill and how ambitious was she? Everyone. You know everything, but you still follow her wholeheartedly, does it seem very loyal?"

Lu Xingzhi laughed at these people.

"What are you talking nonsense about? What evidence is there to prove that the prince did it?" Huo Da stood up and asked Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi sneered, took out a bunch of files from his hand, threw them to Huo Da and said, "Do you need to take a closer look?"

When Huoda saw these evidences, he just lowered his eyebrows and glanced at them.

Then he looked up at Lu Xingzhi, walked up to him, pointed at his chest condescendingly and said, "You are just a commander of the Forbidden Army. What do you say?"

"How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?"

Chu Fan finally spoke up.

Huo Da was really not afraid of Chu Fan at all. He turned to face him and said, "There are more arrogant generals."

Chu Fan sneered and looked at Huoda with indifferent eyes.

"You do have the capital to be arrogant!" Chu Fan was not angry at all. After taking a look at Qi Lian, Qi Lian seemed to have received some kind of order.

"Thank you...!" Before Huo Da finished speaking, Qi Lian stood in front of Huo Da with a sword inserted into his chest, and blood flowed from his mouth.

He drew his sword cleanly.

The fire reached the moment and I couldn't afford it.

"this......!"

Several other generals were frightened by this move.

"Disobedient people will only make me uncomfortable and noisy if I keep them!" Chu Fan is not an ordinary person. Even though he was injured, he still stood up.

Look at their frightened eyes.

"Generals, please think carefully. Talk to me again!"

Qi Lian faced them, with Huoda's blood still flowing from the tip of his sword.

They were frightened and took a few steps back.

"If you kill us, our people will not let you go." One of the generals threatened directly without fear of death.

Chu Fan sighed.

"Ah...!" Qi Lian raised the knife and knocked down another one.

Chu Fan frowned and said with emotion: "What I hate most in my life is being threatened by other people! How about I do it this time?"

"Bring people up..."

"let me go!"

It doesn't take a while.

The soldiers brought in the family members of several generals.

"Madam?" One of the generals was shocked when he saw his wife being caught.

"Daddy, save me!"

"Ms. sir, save me."

Among them, there is another person who is not afraid of life and death, and does not panic at all if he is caught.

Chu Fan looked at them with such pitiful expressions.

"Think carefully before you speak. Next time you won't be the one to kill, but them instead?"

"You are shameless!"

"I am shameless. You ministers have been officials in the court for more than ten years, right? I was originally an idle prince, and you insisted on pushing me to this position. But now you feel that I am useless and want to welcome the prince back. At first, you were just I feel that I shouldn’t surrender to a woman and abandon her! Now, because I feel pressured by her, I also feel that Chu Xiangyu is suitable to be the king of Western Chu.”

Chu Fan slowly walked down from the dragon chair.

His eyes fear no one.

"I think I'm a good chess piece for anyone to manipulate!"

Chu Fan's majesty was most vividly demonstrated at this moment.

Chu Fan looked at the aggressive Gu He, his eyes filled with anger. Chu Fan smiled and said: "General Gu has always been loyal. He was framed and imprisoned seven years ago and was rescued by Chu Xiangyu. He has worked hard these years. What a pity, you Have you truly seen Chu Xiangyu’s true face, and have you ever had any doubts in your heart?”

Gu He's eyes flashed with hesitation.

"Refuse to answer, or don't know how to answer?" Chu Fan saw the last glimmer of conscience in his eyes, "In just a few days, tens of thousands of common people and soldiers died. This is what the prince you support did. Don't kill others. Put your life in your eyes and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals."

"To achieve hegemony, you can use extraordinary means, but when faced with the helpless people, there is no mercy. I couldn't do it, but your prince did it."

Chu Fan doesn't like to reason, but it's a matter of life and death. He had no choice. These were people who had been on the battlefield and were experienced in using troops and war layout. He needed these people.
